Gondwana

Gondwana was the eighth continent on earth, and perhaps the most interesting, as well as the continent with the earliest complex life fossils. Gondwana served as the main continent for the entire Paleozoic Era, and even the Triassic and Jurassic Periods in the Mesozoic Era. It was the first continent to have life, flora and fauna, on land. Gondwana formed around 540-545 million years ago, just as Pannotia broke up, and broke up around 135-140 million years ago, in the early Cretaceous Period.
